Complex Probiotics Suppress Inflammation by Regulating Intestinal Metabolites in Kittens by Shimin Zhu, Musu Zha, Yanan Xia

“…Compared to the control, the probiotics group had significantly higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) methylmalonylcarnitine, lysyl-hydroxyproline, phenylpropionylglycine, and vitamin K3 levels, and significantly lower (<i>p</i> < 0.05) gamma-glutamyl-L-putrescine, cis-gondoic acid, myristic acid, 12,13-DiHOME, and glycodeoxycholic acid levels. The results of this study suggest that complex probiotics promote intestinal health in kittens by regulating changes in various metabolites in the intestine and may have a mitigating effect on intestinal inflammation.…”
